FAQs

I am happy to answer any questions that you may have. Below I have listed the questions I am asked on a regular basis. Occasionally I'm asked a new question, when that happens I'll add it here.

Do you charge extra for pet care on holidays?

Do you charge extra for pet care on holidays?

I've always charged the same price 365 days per year. However from 2025, on Christmas bookings, an extra one-off £10 per booking will be charged, 100% of which is paid straight to my dedicated team who are tirelessly helping to care for your furry friends on these days. But please check our opening hours as we do close for arrivals and collections over the 3 day Christmas period too.

Do you house rabbits in hutches?

Do you house rabbits in hutches?

Generally no, they stay in walk-in rooms or runs. There are a couple of unique cases where owners chose to house a rabbit in a hutch, for medical reasons etc.

I’m nervous about leaving my pets — can I see where they’ll stay?

I’m nervous about leaving my pets — can I see where they’ll stay?

Yes you are welcome to arrange a viewing before your holiday. In fact, I strongly advise that you visit a few boarding establishments BEFORE making your booking, to make sure you're 100% happy about where you are leaving your pets. I am confident that you will leave feeling totally reassured. 

We prefer check-ins to be made at our reception area by the front of the house. This maintains the peace and quiet of the hotel, so our guests can rest undisturbed. It also helps us focus more of our time on guests than on humans!

Another thing worth thinking about, which we have learned from experience... if you have a sensitive bunny who doesn’t cope well with the journey here, it's best to put them straight in their room and leave them to relax. They may need a few minutes peace to recover from the journey - peace which they will sense from the other bunnies as soon as they arrive. Prolonged fussing from an anxious human doesn't settle the bunny in my experience, and we need to get them happily munching asap. So please trust me to settle your bunny. I'll soon let you know if I have concerns.

Are you open all year round?

Are you open all year round?

We are open all year round. Alvina, Lauren and I run the hotel together, so it's 'bunny business as usual', should one of us become ill or go on holiday.

My indoor rabbit isn’t vaccinated — can he still board?

My indoor rabbit isn’t vaccinated — can he still board?

No, I cannot accept un-vaccinated rabbits. 

I can’t find my rabbit’s vaccination certificate. Do I need one?

I can’t find my rabbit’s vaccination certificate. Do I need one?

If you have no certificates, an email directly from your vet to me would be acceptable too. Your rabbit will not be able to stay here without proof of adequate cover. This is why I ask for vaccine proof at least 3 weeks before your arrival date. Please check the vaccine page for clarification.

I'm worried about my rabbit getting ill while I'm away.

I'm worried about my rabbit getting ill while I'm away.

I've been caring for rabbits and guinea pigs professionally for over 20 years - I am VERY experienced the care of rabbits and guinea pigs. Of course a pet's health can deteriorate suddenly for many reasons, however I notice changes in behaviour and subtle tell tale signs of illness way before a less-experienced person would. Some illnesses such as gut stasis can cause rabbit fatality very quickly so I take no chances. I keep a stock of fibreplex and syringes for immediate emergency hydration if appropriate, and whatever the time of day or night, your rabbit will be taken to the vet. 

I have an unneutered male rabbit. Can he stay with you?

I have an unneutered male rabbit. Can he stay with you?

Sorry but no, all male bunnies must be neutered. We strongly advise females to be neutered too. 

I'm anxious about my pet, can you give me daily updates?

I'm anxious about my pet, can you give me daily updates?

I no longer offer daily updates due to the excessive messages and calls we were receiving during busy periods. We need to give our guests our full time, love and attention - which we can't do if we are always on the phone! So please keep the update/picture requests to a minimum; I promise I will contact you / your emergency contact immediately should I have any concerns.

Can I put a camera in my bunny's room?

Can I put a camera in my bunny's room?

I’m afraid we don’t allow cameras in the rooms, as it wouldn’t be fair on our team.

Should you have any further questions that are not answered here, you are welcome to contact us.

The facilities are absolutely fantastic and the buns have more than enough room to enjoy their holiday. Louise certainly knows her stuff when it comes to rabbits and I wouldn’t think twice about recommending Woodcroft Warrens."

"My 4 spoilt rabbits have stayed with Louise twice now and both times have come home relaxed and happy. 

Jessica B

My bunnies feel there like at home, they relax instantly and happily explore territory. I've been using Woodcroft Warrens for last 2 yers, feel very confident going on a holiday, knowing that my bunnies are in good hands!"

"Lovely, very secure place. Excellent care and the best quality for our fury members of family. 

Anna Złomek

They came back happy and content as they do each time, they get quality food and treats in line with the instructions we provided. Just by talking to the team I can tell that they really do care and have the experience to deal with any unforeseen issues. Highly recommended and competent."

"We had to leave our two buns Oreo & Lilly for 12 days boarding which is a long time but WoodCroft Warrens looked after them so well that we had no concerns. 

The Yumran

he is definitely calm when he returns home, and I know he's in safe hands at Woodcroft Warrens. Wont leave him anywhere else now we've found you! We will be returning in September."

"Thank you to Louise and Alvina for taking care of our giant Brian!
